Complete description Our original design includes Teddy Roosevelt and what has become to be called the "Man in the Arena" passage from his "Citizenship in a Republic" speech at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." The print includes the full text as well as the date and location of the speech. Background on our archival print "For me, this quote is deeply moving, and for years I've wanted to create something that did it justice, so we commissioned this original art. "It is printed on archival paper with archival inks and available unframed and framed, as shown. Our frame is solid wood, made in America. We use museum-grade acrylic that protects your print from UV rays and is non-glare. This is the same glazing that I use for the pieces I frame for my home. Note that we do not mat this print. That's my preference for a print like this, which we want to look historic, as if it were printed in that time period." "Thank you for your support of this outstanding print and these beautiful frames. Everything—the design, printing, frame stock and frames, acrylic, and framing—is made in America." — Lee Wright | Founder | The History List | History Camp | The Pursuit of History Design © 2022 Larry Stuart Studio.
